“Full Cavendish” because Cavendish shaving soap and Cavendish aftershave. How To Grow A Moustache traded its awkwardly long name for Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements—still a mouthful, but generally abbreviated as PAA.
I used the Fine Classic 20mm synthetic, a favorite brush now. I like a brush that feels on the face like a cloud of lather: soft, warm, and yielding. Some like a brush with a lot of backbone, that pokes at the face, but not me. And the Fine Classic is an extremely efficient brush: it worked up a great lather very easily, helped to some degree by the large working surface of the 5″ puck. The Cavendish aroma definitely comes through.
The #102 did three easy passes to a perfect BBS finish. Indeed, my face was largely BBS after the second pass: it’s an extremely efficient razor, but also highly comfortable and smooth shaving.
A good splash of PAA’s Cavendish aftershave and the week is launched with a holiday.
